Title: A method and apparatus for reducing ram size while maintaining fast data access
Inventor: MEI YOUSONG
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2001-01-19
Granted: 2004-07-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing the amount of RAM required while maintaining fast data access. Data records are often saved in nonvolatile memory in order to maintain the contents of the data records even when the circuit is powered down. In the present invention each record in the nonvolatile RAM collection of data records is input to a function H(x) that outputs a tag value. The calculated tag value is saved in predetermined memory locations in RAM. Each calculated tag is shorter in length than the record saved in nonvolatile RAM. Therefore less RAM is required to save one tag value for each data record than is required to save the entire collection of data records in RAM. The value of H(y) is calculated when a data record entry corresponding to y is desired. Then the value of H(y) is compared to all the values in the tag value table. If a match is found, the corresponding record from its location in non-volatile RAM is retrieved and compared to y. If the values do not match the tag value table is searched for another location matching H(y). The result is a very fast comparison with the contents of nonvolatile RAM requiring only a minimal amount of RAM.

Title: System and method for generating pixel values for pixels in an image using strictly deterministic methodologies for generating sample points
Inventor: GRABENSTEIN MARTIN
IPC: G06T15/50
Filed: 1997-06-25
Granted: 2001-04-05
Abstract: A computer graphics system generates pixel values for pixels in an image of objects in a scene, using strictly-deterministic low-discrepancy sequences, illustratively Halton sequences, as sample points for evaluating integrals which are used to simulate a number of computer graphic techniques, including: (1) soft shadows generated for scenes illuminated by a light source having a finite extent, such as a disk, as opposed to a point light source; (2) simulation of depth of field; (3) motion blur; (4) jittering. The computer graphics system uses the low-discrepancy sequence: (1) in connection with soft shadows, to generate sample points over the extent of the light source illuminating the scene; (2) in connection with simulation of depth of field, to generate sample points over the area of the lens between the scene and the image; (3) in connection with motion blur, to generate sample points over a time interval over which motion blur is to be simulated for moving objects in the scene; and (4) in connection with jittering, to generate jittered sample points over an image or a plurality of contiguous pixels. Unlike the random numbers used in connection with the Monte Carlo technique, the low discrepancy sequences ensure that the sample points are evenly distributed over a respective region or time interval, thereby reducing error in the image which can result from clumping of such sample points which can occur in the Monte Carlo technique. In particular, the invention facilitates the generation of images of improved quality when using the same number of sample points at the same computational cost as in the Monte Carlo technique.

Title: Method for forming a model of a geologic formation, constrained by dynamic and static data
Inventor: GUERILLOT DOMINIQUE
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2000-08-30
Granted: 2004-04-01
Abstract: A structure is chosen a priori, with one physical dimension (k) estimated from the exploration data and a second ( sigma ) estimated from the fluid production data. The model is optimized by iterative application of an inversion of at least one of the physical dimensions, which are related by a combination function. The final model at least satisfies the combination of the two dimensions. The iterative optimization involves a simultaneous iteration of the first and second physical dimensions with optimization of a global cost function J(K,  sigma ) of the two dimensions. The global cost function is the sum of terms measuring the spacing between the points of each model and the data obtained by measurement or observation or the corresponding dimension and the spacing taking into account the combination of the two dimensions. Each model is optimized by minimizing the objective function by determining its exact gradient using the adjoining state method. The production data are measured in the shaft through the underground area and the exploration data are the seismic data captured by seismic receivers in response to waves transmitted through the formation. The first physical dimension is the permeability of the medium and the second is the impedance of the medium relative to the waves.
